Engineering Labs Without the Lab
CIO, Technical University
The Challenge
GPU-heavy engineering software (CAD, simulation, rendering) required expensive physical labs that sat empty 60% of the time, while students queued for seats during project weeks.
The Solution
GPU-accelerated virtual desktops put the full engineering software suite on any student laptop: lab-grade performance streamed from central infrastructure, available 24/7 from dorm or library.
The Outcome
Project week queues vanished. The physical lab floor became collaborative space.
Lab infrastructure cost down 70% · 24/7 access
